1. General safety instructions
3. Incorrect use 
Never use the DuoFern radio system and its components for 
the remote control of appliances and systems with increased 
safety-relevant requirements or where there is an accident 
risk. This  would  require  additional  safety  equipment.  Ob-
serve the respective statutory regulations for the installation 
of such systems.
IMPORTANT
Do not install the DuoFern wall controller outside.
The use of defective equipment can lead   
to personal injury and damage to prop-
erty.
Never use defective or damaged equipment. 
Please contact our Customer Service depart-
ment in this event .
2. Correct usage
Correct usage
Only use the DuoFern wall controller 3216 02 21 / 3216 02 11  
for the remote control of:
 
Shutters / Blinds
 
Electrical consumers (for instance lighting)
Operating conditions
 
Only use the DuoFern wall controller in dry rooms.
 
The installation and operation of the DuoFern radio sys-
tem and its components (e. g. DuoFern tubular motor  
actuator)  is  only  permitted  for  systems  and  devices 
where  a  malfunction  in  the  transmitter  or  receiver  
would not cause a danger to personnel or property or  
where this risk is already covered by other safety equip-
ment.
 
4.1 Functional description
Use the DuoFern wall controller to manually operate diverse 
DuoFern actuators remotely. To do so, connect the DuoFern 
wall controller to the required DuoFern network.
Use the two rocker switches to send manual control com-
mands to the connected DuoFern actuators.
A  bi-coloured  indicator  light  shows  whether  the  DuoFern 
actuators connected to the wall controller have received and 
confirmed the control commands. The indicator light is con-
cealed behind the two rocker switches.

4.2. Two operating modes
1.  Tubular motor mode
The  following  control  commands  are  sent  in Tubular 
motor mode: UP/STOP/DOWN
NOTE
Every DuoFern actuator reacts to these com-
mands. Please additionally read the operat-
ing instructions for the DuoFern actuator.
2.  Lighting/Devices mode
The following control commands are sent per rocker 
switch: ON/OFF
NOTE
 
The DuoFern actuator is in Tubular motor mode when  
it leaves the factory.
 
The individual channels of an actuator can be distributed  
to the two rocker switches in Lighting/Devices mode.
 
Only the DuoFern actuators that support On/Off switch- 
ing commands react to the Light/Devices mode (e. g. 
the DuoFern universal actuator or the DuoFern socket 
actuator.)

6.  Finally press the cover frame over the keypad.  
 
Take care that the antenna does not become  
 
caught and damaged. The DuoFern wall con- 
 
troller is now ready for operation.
6. Dismantling
1.  Dismantle the wall controller in reverse order.
You  must  assign  the  wall  controller  to  every  required 
DuoFern  actuator  so  that  the  DuoFern  wall  controller  can 
control a DuoFern actuator. 
You can login a maximum of 32 DuoFern actuators at the 
wall controller, for instance RolloTron Standard or Comfort 
DuoFern;  DuoFern  actuators  (Tubular  motor  actuator  or  
universal actuator) etc.
1. 
Switch the DuoFern actuator to Login  
 
mode (please refer to the correspon- 
 
ding operating instructions). 
2.  Switch the wall controller to Login mode.
-  To do so, press keys 1 and 2 simultaneously and  
  hold down for approx. 5 seconds.
3.a  The wall controller is in Tubular motor mode 
 
(factory setting)
No further configuration is needed - all of the channels 
of an actuator are operated at the same time.
3.b  The wall controller is in Lighting/Devices mode.
Every channel of the actuator must be assigned to a 
rocker switch. The indicator light will continue to show 
orange until all of the channels of an actuator are as-
signed.
Proceed as follows:
-   Key 1 to operate the channel with the left  
  rocker switch.
-   Key 2 to operate the channel with the right  
  rocker switch.
-   Press key 3 or 4 in order not to operate the channel.
NOTE
Refer to the table in chapter 4.3. for the changeover 
between  Tubular  motor  mode  and  Lighting/Devices 
mode.
